Though the Barracuda ATA IV and V featured impressively low noise floors, their performance trailed category leaders Western Digital and Hitachi by significant margins. A user purchasing a Barracuda ATA drive did so for its low noise, not its leading performance. With the serial ATA 'Cuda V, Seagate finally debuted a drive featuring an 8-megabyte buffer as well as the only drive to eschew a PATA-to-SATA bridge. While this first attempt exhibited some improvement over the standard parallel ATA (2-meg) unit, the SATA Barracuda nonetheless trailed WD's and Hitachi's disks by a significant margin. In a fashion that surprised some watchers, Seagate quickly followed up on the Barracuda ATA V with the Barracuda 7200.7. The former series, with its 60 gigabyte platters, represented somewhat of a transitional product as Seagate ramped up production of units with 80 GB platters, a size regarded as more “standard” by the industry. The Barracuda 7200.7 family delivers a somewhat confusing array of varying configurations. All feature 80 gigabytes per platter and specified 8.5 millisecond random read seek times. The standard ATA-100 units, available in sizes from 40 GB to the flagship 160 GB, come with a 2-megabyte cache. The ATA-100 “Barracuda 7200.7 Plus” comprises 120 GB and 160 GB models with 8-megabyte buffers. Finally, serial ATA versions spanning 80 GB to 160 GB come standard with 8 megabytes. Notably absent on the 7200.7 is the “SeaShield”, a metal plate found on earlier models that protected electronics mounted along the underside printed circuit board. Keep in mind that the SATA 7200.7 does not feature a traditional 4-pin molex power connector but rather requires the new L-shaped SATA power connector either incorporated on the power supply (rare) or through an adapter (found in some retail SATA controller kits).  FINAL TEST 1. Put the following sentences in the same sequence as the information is arranged in the introductory text. Rewritable CDs are often used to store music, text files, photos, and other data.Floppy and ZIP disks are rarely used. External hard drives are exactly like the hard drive on any computer, except they are outside of your computer. Remote backup allow you to store information on their servers. 2. Which sentence can be used in the annotation to the text “SCSI hard drive”. Rotational speed, form factor and interface should be taken into account in using SAS systems. The text gives valuable information on the consistent parts of SAS systems and their usage. The text sum up the information about SAS systems. 3. Give the right English equivalent to the following Russian sentence. Убедитесь, что ваш дисковод установлен в том месте, где он получает достаточное охлаждение. Make sure you have adequate air flow around the drive, especially if you are going to use a fast-spinning drive. See where the air flows in, and put the drive where it will have the largest volume of cool air flowing around it. Make sure your drive is situated so that it has adequate volume of cool air flowing around it. 4. Give the right Russian equivalent to the following English sentence. Note that newer drives, with higher areal recording densities, can deliver much more bits per rotation than older ones. Обратите внимание, что новые дисководы с увеличенной записывающей способностью могут обрабатывать намного больше битов за вращение, чем старые дисководы. Помните, что усовершенствованные дисководы имеют увеличенную записывающую плотность и могут поставлять больше битов за вращение, чем старые дисководы. Обратите внимание, что старые дисководы могли обрабатывать больше битов за вращение, чем новые дисководы с увеличенной записывающей способностью. 5. Find the equivalents in two languages.
